Yes, just get H8 led bulbs of your choice and swap them out like any other bulb. Easy access from the back of the housing.

No stock are halogen H8 bulbs. If you want white, I'm saying get any H8 LED bulk of your choice.

But choose wisely and the light will not disperse evenly resulting in a really bright inner halo and a dim outer.

I see you were thinking of changing the lens on another thread, might be a good chance to completely upgrade the halos to a LED/COB/CCFL rings instead.

Any LED bulk people recommend ? I've seen Lux mentioned but dont really want to spend that much. I read something about one with a 60 degree wide angle putting the bulb closer to the rings and lighting them up better but could not see what brand it was.

I get mine from LUX Angel Eyes and they last for a long time https://www.luxangeleyes.com

Edit: Oh like what Michelle recommends above :-)

Lux looks like the way to go, just got to find a UK supplier, pretty sure i'm seeing a-lot of fake ones online.
